I am not a frunchy mama. I aspire to live a greener, healthier life with my children, and keep everything in balance. We recycle when we can, and use reusable bags at the grocery store, and we have cut back on the cleaning supplies with harmful chemicals in them drastically in the last two years. Those little steps find me closer to my goals of making a better living environment inside and outside of my home for my children.

While preparing for back to school, (and cruising through Etsy!), I happened to find this great little shop called Fray Baby Bibs & More. They have such a great selection of handmade, reusable lunch baggies, purses, totes, pencil cases, feeding and burping accessories for baby, scarves, toys and more! All of the prints are fresh, modern, trendy, and fashionable. Whether you're looking for baby, children or mom herself, you'll find something that will delight every taste and budget.We had the opportunity to review three reusable bags this month, the snack sized bag, the velcro closure lunch bag, and the flip top lunch bag. These reusable bags are functional for carrying food, waterproof and anti-microbial. The patterns and styles available will appease to preschoolers and high schoolers alike. To clean the bags, just flip them inside out and wipe clean or throw them in the washing machine. All of the bags are machine washable and dryer safe.

I love the the velcro and the flip and fold sandwich bags! The velcro closure was much easier for Alex to figure out how to open, but after I showed him what to do for the flip top one, he quickly became a pro. For Flip and Fold instructions, feel free to view the tutorial here.

He's super excited about his "Real-Life-SUPER-HEROES" sandwich bag.. (see the pic to the left!), and can't wait to bring it to school to show his new friends.

The snack sized bag that we received was a flip top style. It was great, but with little hands, it made opening it a little more difficult. The first time Alex tried, he got grapes everywhere. However, the snack sized bags are also available with the velcro closure, so the little kids can have their snacks too. The flip top snack bag would be ideal for older elementary school kids and middle school aged children. If I worked outside of my home, I would definitely invest in these reusable bags as well.

..Maybe I'm becoming a more frunchier mama as we speak!

My favorite resealable is the Lichen chestnuts flip top sandwich bag.My favorite other porduct is the Geo Mirrors in Pink Mini Wallet. I have to lug around an oxygen bottle wherever I go and this is the perfect thing to tuck in there too.gourdsrmylife@yahoo.comMarj M.

I love the Cockpit Gauges Reusable Snack Bag--how cute is that pattern?! My favorite other product is Funky Paisley iPhone Pouch...maybe with that I could hide my phone from my son so he'd stop playing games on it all the time! ;)

Love the Lizzy Dish Plates and Spoons Reusable Sandwich Bag - big enough for dad sized sandwichs. And I know my daughter would love the pink daisy cellphone pouch. While her phone is not an iPhone, I'm sure it will fit securely with her design

whenever I try to fave one of your posts on technorati, it always comes back with the nag that you already are faved. Makes me wonder if its there or if in the end it gets discarded as a dupe. ??bettycd
